Who benefits from this? Even though Let’s Encrypt stresses that most site operators will do fine sticking with ordinary domain certificates, there are still scenarios where a numeric identifier is the only practical choice:
Infrastructure services such as DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) – where clients may pin a literal IP address for performance or censorship-evasion reasons.
IoT and home-lab devices – think network-attached storage boxes, for example, living behind static WAN addresses.
Ephemeral cloud workloads – short-lived back-end servers that spin up with public IPs faster than DNS records can propagate.
Can I get a cert for 127.0.0.1 ? /s
This would actually be useful for local testing of software during development.
If you can get their servers to connect to that IP under your control, you’ve earned it
Nothing a ski mask and a little mission impossible can’t fix :)
Is /s more or less IPs than /24? I need lots of IPs in case I want to expand
How many bits is a /s mask?
i
Is that the same
ias the squareroot of -1?8
The down votes are from people who work in IT support that have to deal with idiots that play with things they dont understand.
It’s unfortunate they don’t know what /s means
It obviously means “secure”
We do, it’s just that those users will also often go “nah, I’m just joking!” then do some shit anyways.
nah, I was once an idiot who didn’t understand so idgaf
Yeah, the unfortunate part about internet security is that everyone has to start somewhere. And that means there’s always a newbie making dumb mistakes that they don’t even realize are dumb. It’s not a personal failing, unless they fail to learn from it.
How do I setup a reverse proxy for pure TCP? /s
You can based on the port.
It’s called buying more static IPs and making your ISP deal with it haha
Think that’s called NATing
